 ALPHABETZ – “Learn Today for Better Tomorrow”

Literacy is the ability to read, write, and talk in a meaningful way that facilitates understanding. 

When it comes to the English language, literacy has become a great need in today's world. That's because the current English and literacy framework promotes the development of critical and creative thinking, as well as the development of personal, interpersonal, and collaborative skills that are critical in both life and work.

Also, as LEOs we have decided to give a new awakening to the path of English knowledge of young children, which has stopped in the middle due to social and economic problems that have occurred in Sri Lanka in the past.

We as the Leo Club of University of Colombo Leo District 306 C1, have selected Kaballagoda Primary School for this action, where children with economic difficulties are very difficult to study. 

In this manner, our continuous project series ALPAHBETZ was commenced and we completed our 2nd phase on 20th December 2022. 

We selected students studying in grades three, four, and five. Our aim was to give them knowledge without uniformity. While talking about the English language, the basic facts that we need to know about the language were highlighted in this workshop. 

Our members who conducted the workshop managed to attract the attention of the children by performing various activities to break the monotony of the children.

As JK Rowling says we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Therefore, to show the importance of group activities, we also conducted some collective activities among them. We gave them that experience by holding small group matches.

With assurance we say that they learned that when there is teamwork and cooperation which is the strength of unity, amazing things can be achieved. 

Winning is great for sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. No matter if you win or lose, the most important thing in life is to enjoy what you have. Hence, in this workshop we gave away gifts to the winners. Other children were taught to appreciate their achievement with a pure mind. It is something that should be taught to the children of today's society.

At the end we gave everyone gifts to show that everyone is a winner here.

As LEOS, we are very happy to be able to complete the second phase in fulfilling an important mission for the society.

We heartily thank all our club members who kindly helped us, the principal and teachers in Kaballagoda Primary School, and all the other individuals who had provided us with assistance in making this phase a success. This strength will be a great motivation for us to carry out similar missions in the future.
